Most of what you guys call old school is stuff my kids had.

Building tree forts and underground hideouts, playing army, fruit fights, rope swings, trick or treating neighborhoods without parents involved, paper routes, mowing the neighbor's yard for candy money, playing marbles, hopping freight trains, spitwads, calling out bullies, Saturday serials at the movie theater, trading baseball cards, building crystal radios and soapbox cars, ant farms and sea monkeys, kazoos and spoons and jews harps, building models, train sets and road race cars.
 
Damn you Maris, you posted something that I enjoyed. The only things you left out where real fireworks, black cats, m80s, foot tall GI Joes, Slot cars of the full scale in payless basement, corner bars and lumber mills
 
The best Christmas present you could get in 1963. You couldn't watch a cartoon without seeing the giant advertising campaign. It was expensive, like $9. It came with little plastic sheets called blanks. You put one on one side, and whatever you wanted to mold on the other. You plugged it in, turned on the heat, and clamped them together. You heard plastic hissing and melting. You opened it after a few seconds and pulled out your plastic mold of the object. Here's the box, the machine, and the results.

Hey Mom! What's this? You could put anything small in there, like an animal, or something you found in your parents' bedroom.
